Ethiopia Drone Strike Kills One, Injures Another
31 Jan
Summary
- Drone strikes in Tigray killed one person and injured another.
- The attack targeted two Isuzu trucks near Enticho and Gendebta.
- This incident signals a resurgence of conflict in the region.
A drone strike in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region on Saturday resulted in one fatality and one injury, according to a senior Tigrayan official and a humanitarian worker. The attack reportedly hit two Isuzu trucks near Enticho and Gendebta, areas approximately 20 kilometers apart.
The Ethiopian National Defence Force is suspected of launching the strikes, though this has not been confirmed. The contents of the trucks remain unclear, with conflicting reports suggesting they carried either food and cooking items or weapons.
This incident marks a significant escalation and indicates a resurgence of conflict between regional and national forces. A two-year war between these factions concluded with a peace agreement in November 2022, but underlying disagreements persist, particularly concerning disputed territories and the disarmament of Tigrayan forces.
